EdgeOs alternative for prompts module?

[lowkeylamb]

SUMMARY

I'm trying to create a playbook to update a few edge routers to current hotfixes, but I cannot find a way to get around the prompted yes/no question with the supported community.network.edgeos_command module parameters (wait_for, interval, commands, retries, match)

add system image https://www.ui.com/download/edgemax/edgerouter-x/default/edgerouter-er-xer-x-sfpep-r6er-10x-firmware-v209-hotfix4
Version [v2.0.9-hotfix.4.5521907.220630.0657] is about to be replaced
Are you sure you want to replace old version? (Yes/No) [Yes]:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: Update External ERX with latest firmware
  hosts: externaledgerouters
  remote_user: BudAdmin
  tasks:
    - name: Check Image Ver
      community.network.edgeos_command:
       commands: show system image

    - name: Download Hotfix ver2.0.9-hotfix
      community.network.edgeos_command:
       commands: "add system image https://dl.ui.com/firmwares/edgemax/v2.0.9-hotfix.4/ER-e50.v2.0.9-hotfix.4.5521907.tar"

EXPECTED RESULTS

The playbook seems to hang, then eventually times out, because you have to answer yes/no after entering the command:

add system image https://www.ui.com/download/edgemax/edgerouter-x/default/edgerouter-er-xer-x-sfpep-r6er-10x-firmware-v209-hotfix4#

[Qalthos]

It isn't well documented, but edgeos_command also supports commands being a list of dictionaries similar to eos_command.

If that fails for some reason, the cli_command module should work with edgeos' cliconf plugin to do the correct thing more explicitly.
